Use of social web technologies by international and domestic undergraduate students: implications for internationalizing learning and teaching in Australian universities
Higher Ed - Report; Kathleen Gray, Shanton Chang, and Gregor Kennedy
The paper reports on two studies: the first, conducted at a large Australian university, investigated differences between international and domestic undergraduate students' (n = 1973) use of web-based technologies and tools; the second investigation reports on interviews with eight Australian and eight Singaporean university students about their use and perceptions of blogs and blogging. The findings from two studies provide new evidence of both cultural similarities and cultural differences in aspects of young university students' use of social software for communication and content creation.
